Yep, that's pretty old, but a VERY good example of the Castle Doctrine. It was a pretty good case in that it extends the right to protect your neighbors property as well (if your neighbor wants you to do so).
The grand jury no-billed the guy and the case is OVER. The shooter goes free and two more criminals are no more. Protesters came out to try and say what happened was wrong and they were met by a bunch of motorcycle "club" members who (from what I understand) prevented the protest...or something like that.
Our city DA was on tv a couple weeks ago talking about this. She appeared VERY happy of the court case outcome and basically told all BURGLARS (people that break into homes and cars to steal are called burglars.....not ROBBERS.......................) that a drawback of their job is the possibility of death....and to watch out because if you break into someones house, you may find yourself DOA. It was a great article and I sure hope it curbs some burglaries. I know d@mn well that if someone broke into my house right now....oooooh. I've got to protect my family...first and foremost....and I'll do anything to make sure they are safe.
